NZ politics - term limit for PM
What if there was a 2 term limit on being the PM of NZ? Just as there is with being President of the USA. Governments that depend on the PR polish of a popular leader to win elections would never get more than 2 terms, and neither should they. Parties whose policy approach is popular with a majority of the population could govern for 4 terms, without relying for a sense of continuity on one person spending 12 years as PM.

@strypey relatedly, a voluntary step taken by a much-maligned political party in India is to exclude people over 70 from organizational and electoral positions.
By the way, there is no need for any such rules to be enforced if there is atleast 1 democratically-minded party in the fray.
Though that does infantilze the populace as being unable to look past PR. If that were true, maybe they get the leader they deserve?
